Why the study?
Does a 3-variable clinical prediction model accurately identify acute aortic dissection?
Does a 3-variable clinical prediction model accurately identify acute aortic dissection?
A 3-variable clinical prediction model can identify 96% of acute aortic dissections and stratify patients by probability to guide prompt diagnostic imaging.
May inform selective imaging decisions in suspected aortic dissection; leaves open prospective validation before routine adoption.
